Is there a reference for the syntax of the cascade menus, or a stack with examples? The userguide is not exactly explicit about it.

Specifically, my current concern is this one. I have a list of names and numeric equivalent pairs. Each name can have multiple sub choices, etc. I'd like the user to see just the names, but the button should return both the name and the numeric identifier. The following form plays only the first half of the trick, but returns just the numeric identifier.

Hi.

I would place the corresponding pairs in a custom property of the menu.
Then when the user selects a name, the menuPick handler can find the associated number in the property, and send it along...

When you use tags, the menuPick handler will only return the tagged data, not the "parent".

OK, thanks. I though there would be a simpler way to do it, but this one is fine
